living in a village, what about teens?

OUrhome search continues got 7 moreviewing for this weekend. If you live in a village is it a nightmare for teens
(Ours are still pre school but am thinking ahead) e.g village with primary but not secondary school, one shop one pub. I grew up in city so could get to shops, cinema, pool, friends houses etc without need for lifts . WE are moving due to issues with primary schools where we live, don't want to end up with more problems in years to come

!

What puts me off villages or even a small town is seeing the teens hanging around the offlicence on a Fri/Sat night.
Maybe it happens everywhere but I always think isn't there anything better for you to be doing, especially in winter.

I teach in a city school, with quite a few kids who commute in from surrounding villages. Most of them wish they lived in town as they can feel a bit 'out of the loop'. Could you move once they're a bit older?
